National Championship Recap + Coaching Carousel on Steroids

4/10/2024
A full recap from Monday night's natty in Phoenix with the guy who was courtside sitting next to Ian Eagle. Our man Matt Norlander checks in after a solid night's sleep to talk all things UConn and Purdue after the Huskies go back-to-back and win their 6th national title in the last 25 years. A dynasty according to one - but not both - of our hosts. There's still a coaching vacancy in Lexington, and Hartzell has a name that nobody has thrown out anywhere in the national media. An epic Now Spinning segment and Masters picks to close the show. Do you know where Robbie Avila is going to go in the portal? Norlander does.

3/20/2024
Finally, the beloved bracket is here. On the latest Gauer Hour presented by the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, Rob & Megan largely have no issues with the field of 68. They do, however, think the committee could have gotten much more creative. They go region-by-region to breakdown the potential bracket busters, who isn't getting respect (are we really doing this "12-seed FGCU" thing again?) and, ultimately, who will cut down the nets in Cleveland.
